Absolutely fascinating: unfortunately perhaps it aroused a great interest in visiting the area, although basically I am against tourism here. My printer had trouble with a lack of memory so I got way behind other students but I felt the course covered many aspects of the subject extremely well, although I have little science background.

This course was excellent with a huge amount of detail built into it and a large number of fascinating links. This is the second of Ian's courses that I have done and although I enjoyed Continents on the move I found this one enthralling not just very interesting. As usual I ran out of time!!!

I found this course (my first with U3A-online) as incredibly enlightening, discovering aspects of Antarctica, e.g. environmental, penguin species, ice depth, etc. as fascinating. Antarctica is generally viewed as being a 'dead, flat, freezing area', but this course has shown what a vibrant place it is. I would love to go there!!

The content of the course was just the amount of information I needed to give me a good grounding in Astronomy and the links gave me a good place to go to feed me good information to carry on star gazing. Thank you

I found the course interesting and confirmed a lot of knowledge, in a more formal way, that I already have developed over quite a few years. The course itself was quite good and I enjoyed it. I hope to undertake The Night Sky course next.

I particularly liked the short tables of vital statistics of the planetary bodies and I intend to combine them all in one large comprehensive table which will be most useful to me. I was able to fit this course into my life very easily by self pacing.

This was an excellent basic introductory course giving a sound overall view of the subject in a reasonable length and pitched at an acceptable standard. As such, it provides a platform for further in-depth study of those aspects that I wish to explore more fully.

This was a course lead by me with downloaded notes over an 8 week period with a U3A Online Site Licence. Very well written, illustrated and referenced. Language easy to follow and pitched just right for U3A students. Thank you.
